Well neither does BMW lol. And the C63 is 6-7 years old man haha!

But . . . Mercedes does use quite a bit of this new technology for their flagship performance car, the AMG GT. And the new AMG GT will share its engine with the next-generation C63.

The new W205 comes out in September. It will weigh 220+ lbs less than the current generation. It will also produce 500+ horsepower from a 4.0L biturbo V8.

Also, the M3 and C63 are NOT purebred sports cars. If you haven't driven a Porsche 911 GT3, go do it and then you'll understand what I'm talking about. The C63, M3, RS4, etc. are nothing more than fast grand touring cars. And that's a fact.

Some of AMG's recent innovation can be found in the CLA45, which has the world's most powerful 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine. About 155 horsepower per liter. Not bad, IMO.

And this is not going to end well. The 5-Series (including the M5) is one of the fattest, most bloated cars on the market. And BMW M has had to compensate for that by dropping a huge turbocharged motor into the M5. Doesn't mean it's a bad car, but it's no cutting edge lightweight.
with all the talk of other models. I am speaking e92 M3 for c63.. If we want to talk about the new M4 carbon drive shaft and other new goodies, we can.

But prefer to focus on the two cars at hand.

The e92 M3 is F1 inspired. High revving engine for one. Carbon fiber components for weight reduction is two, dual clutch gear box is 3.

In the review you posted and in many others, the exterior style looks dated with 80's style graphic. His words not mine. Rest of the car exterior of the c63 is nothing special. performance and style are very important
